I want to double major in English and History (or possibly Poli-Sci), but I have no clue what schools to put on my list. I’m definitely looking for a mid-sized to large city, urban kind of environment with lots of people from diverse backgrounds. Open to West Coast schools, but prefer East Coast and Midwest. I don’t really care about the social life (parties or whatever), but I want to join some clubs related to my interests (rock music/guitar, art, film) and major.
UNC and Duke, obviously, look at UC Berkeley, UGA, USCarolina, Clemson, Ohio State and some other ones.
What you’re asking is a chance-me, which won’t help you. Give us some more info, like where you want to live, what opportunities do you want, social life, clubs, Urban or college town. You have a solid app, but you need to give us more info.
You’re right; thank you lol. That slipped my mind.

I feel like your best option would be UNC, just cause of in state tuition and the fact that it has all the you want.
Try Tennessee, UVA, Virginia Tech, and NC State, UGA, and maybe Alabama. Those are some great target and safety schools. If you want, shoot for Penn State and Ohio State if you want to move up north. Also, trying applying to Georgetown as a reach.
You have a good app, so you have a lot of options, use college rankings from Niche and usnews to find the best places for you.
Thank you! I will definitely take all of this into account.
